Farming general pointers

Post by Grable »

So, I'm about to focus on farming this World. Can anyone give me some info on what is important to know when speccing in Farming? Should I only LP up my farming skill, what stats should I build, what extra skills should I get?
Also, any info on farming curiosities?
Thanks in advance

You will want your exploration up enough so that you can find the seeds to start with.
Although, so much depends on if you are doing this alone or with a village.

Alone you might also want to graually work on other skills too so that you can tame livestock one day and do other stuff.

In a village go full on farming and I think its DEX (although ppl both agree and disagree on that) as your stat. Get other people to find your seeds for you.

Yep, as of now I'm in a village with people who (I hope) will provide me with seeds. So just going full farming is the key then? I take it the Belief slider should go to Nature too, right?

Slider to nature, most definately. Each step towards nature will give you a 20% chance of harvesting 3 seeds from each plant instead of just 2. Once you get to max nature it will be 100% chance of getting 3 seeds each time.

There is no stat associated with Farming.
If soil Q is > than crop Q then you get -5/+5 (per seed, not all 2-3)
If soil Q is < than crop Q then you get -5/+2
Also, Farming + 3 is the hardcap for Crop Q.
Do you want see right through the devil's eyes?
You must have seen the ground where they all stood before
I was a young man then, I was a young man then
Spending my time on the killing floor
Be more than you seem to be
Joy of labour sets you free.

Hardcap? I doubt that. unless there has been a major change in that department its always been softcapped.

Correct. Quality will average with your farming ability. Nothing is Hard capped.
